Well after the first celebration party organised to celebrate a couple of events amongst which my 100th follower, it's only natural I come up with something to celebrate the 200th (which might very well be Joe Kushner).
First things first, I'd like to express my most sincere thanks to you people who take the time to comment and follow blogs to list them in your own corner of the interwebz, to make them live so this hobby doesn't get like masturbating in the open. All this energy to share is what makes a comuunity for me.
THANK YOU ! |
Those who were in the first 100 might remember that I offered to convert a model selected by contestants from a list of models who don't get enough attention from me. Those models could be seasoned with 2 flavours.
Here's the time travelling gunslinger elf mage, Warlord Paul won last year. |
Here are the models :
Nothing really fancy amongst all that if we're being honest right ? This year I wanted to go a little farther and only use damaged models on top of unloved ones !
Let's see what YOU can make ME do with those !
Let's see what YOU can make ME do with those !
Let me get the rules clear once again :
You just have to be a follower of this blog and then write a little comment in this post mentionning whatever miniature from the lot you want and 2 words to your liking. It can be anything really; just consider you pick up a model as main base and you add 2 "flavours" to it, you can go really far with that and I expect some challenging flavours from you people.
I'll then make a list of entries and randomly generate a winner who will receive the converted, painted model (according to the 2 accompanying words).
I'll then make a list of entries and randomly generate a winner who will receive the converted, painted model (according to the 2 accompanying words).
To sum up :
1) You have to be a follower of this blog
2) Name the miniature you like and 2 words to give a special flavour to the model (anything from communism to banana, Higgs particle or whatever)
3) I'll randomly generate a winner from the entries
4) I'll convert and paint the model chosen by the victor ensuring the 2 "flavour" words are visible on the final result.
5) I'll send the result to the winner and we'll all be good to go onto more adventures !
NEW RULE : if you want and feel a little daring or nasty, you can skip the model selection and choose a third "flavour", this will mean I'll choose whatever model I can (from those above or not) to make something that complies with your rules.
I'll wait for the entries to stop entering (that should take a week or less) and then will announce the results (with plenty of charts and excel sheets like last time).
Astopath : ... and therefore we should attack here. Fine by you gents? I say the meeting is over and we go get a drink it's all on JB's tonight.
Marine Statham: Fuck yeah, I'm dry as a Tallarn whore.
Eldar, I could use a little tomato juice I have to say.
Squat : (sigh) yeah, let's get some pints I'm starting to feel weird, I think I'm sobering up.
Imperial quard : So why is that it's the place to attack again ?
Marine Gonzales (in the back on the left) : Are thes eguys moving or what, I frigging need to take a piss!
Marine Cortez (in the back on the right) : Shaddap, it's nearly over.

Mordhiem fanatic (bottom row 2nd from left) - cyber - drinker
ReplyDeleteGood, very good ^^
DeleteThat Mordheim chap with an axe. Flavours: Strawberry, and Cat.
ReplyDeleteNot that I would know how cat tastes :-)
Strawberry and cat ? Really ?... I actually have the perfect idea for this one ! It will feel like tasting a cat while petting a strawberry !
DeleteLoL. Well I deserved that...
DeleteThree flavours: electric guitar, explosion, flared pants.
ReplyDeleteOh so you want a show right? I'll tell you what, you're going to have it sir.(if you win that is)
DeleteThree flavours for me please!
ReplyDeleteMono-chrome, frilled, unearthly
I need to come up with something better than just a ghost hidden in frilled sheets ^^
DeleteThe mono-chrome is quite achallenge but I like that !
Skaven: Shakespearean, Manic, Romantic :D (middle miniature 2nd row)
ReplyDeleteAnd grats to reaching this milestone! I wish you many more followers.
Thanks a lot !
DeleteBy the way you chose 3 flavours with your model, you either have to let one out or let me decide about the model ;)
Then feel free to choose the model (although I would like to see that done to a Skaven) :D
DeleteCongrats again, JB!!
ReplyDeleteI'd dare to say... union worker, flaky pastry, ataraxia!
And now I'll slowly go back to my cubicle... :D
Wow, now you've decided to make life hard for me haven't you, I had to google Ataraxia to understand what it is !
DeleteBut challenge accepted ! I' don't know If I want t opick that one but only Excel's random tool will decide...
Thanks my friend ;)
Well done squire.
ReplyDeleteUm lower row, third chap from the left.
Astropath, jolly.
It may not be the easiest to work from but I like the idea and I actually have some ideas to make this work (in my mind at least).
DeleteThanks a lot !
Congratulations again on the swathe of followers! My pick: bottom row, third from the left. Scientific, deranged. Really, whoever wins, I can't wait to see what you concoct!
ReplyDeleteJust like last year, some models seem to get the favours of people ! Works for me..
DeleteI'm eager to see who wins and with what combination !
Congratulations (again!); and nice one for running a fun contest :)
ReplyDeleteI'll go for the skaven, with the flavours being: fortune and... cheese!
Fortune and cheese for the Skaven it is then ! You guys are putting my rusty brains to work !
DeleteThanks a lot !
Congratulations for this great 'blogchievement' !
ReplyDeleteI'll choose the dwarf and add 'african' and 'drummer' to it :)
Wow, man you're not helping me here ^^' I should have known you guys would hit me with weird stuff anyway. We'll see how we can deal with this in case it gets picked !
DeleteThanks a lot ;)
Well, it would be to easy an inspired hobbyist like you. The fun will pour with unexpected and random silly ideas :)
DeleteCongrats JB well done on this growing chaotic retinue. ;)
ReplyDeleteBattle Masters Knight: Stillmanian and Frazetta...enjoy!
Looks like you haven't had enough of Battlemasters knight ! I can't say I'm surprised by your themes but if they get picked, I'll make sure the rsult looks good amongst your superb army ;)
DeleteCheers buddy.
Excellent. LOL
DeleteCongratulations on the milestone on your inspirational blog.
ReplyDeleteMy pick will be the templar champion (? the bottom left corner): pacifist; rat
This certainly is a peculiar combo but I actually have quite a good vision of what I could do with it , not something I'd have thought of by myself... tat's the charme of making this in group !
Deletethanks a lot !
Wardancer, 1st Row, 4th from left: Elvis at Louis' XIV court.
ReplyDeleteYou have to know this model was first intended as a member of a glamrock band ! This won't be too far from the original deisgn !
DeleteCheers.
Oh and it doesn't seem like you're registered here ;) (yet)
DeleteI followed the blog via G+ but registered now. "Glam" would be a 40k Elvis, I'm after a OldWorld Elvis :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah right, sorry ^^
DeleteFor some reason, I immediately pictured it as a 40k model so that was a no brainer for me but you were right to precise !
Congratulations! OK, I decided to use a random word generator from http://www.textfixer.com/tools/random-words.php. So my three words are Shotgun : Mixer : Gaping. Have fun if mine gets picked.
ReplyDeleteWell you know what? thois might actually be one of the easy ones actually ! Well that easy but definitely bot the worst !
DeleteThanks a lot Sean !
Great blog achievement. And those 3 words are my flavours for you to use!
ReplyDeleteThat'll teach me to brag about having imagination now, you gus are way wilder than last year ! I love it !
DeleteIt may be a bit longer but theres defintely something to be done with this one.
Ha ha – brilliant! :) JB, you've got your work cut out with some of these.
Delete201 followers! Fuckin hell JB, You da man!!!
ReplyDeleteRegarding my victim of choice, I'd go for the bottom left marine, the one with the dress. Flavours? Ummmm, alcoholic & repulsive. Yeah, that'll do nicely.
Congratulations on a well deserved milestone :)
Cheers mate !
DeleteAlcoholic and repulsive ? well you should know I'm all about beauty and sobriety... sometimes...if I insist...
Another great proposition.
Long lurker, first time commentator.
ReplyDelete3 words: Flamboyant star player.
Not the most original, but I'd love a converted mini for my blood bowl team :)
We'll take things easy then for a first time ;)
DeleteFlamboyant star player, I love the sound of that, I get mental images flowing right now !
Congratulations on the milestone achievement, what a way to celebrate by punishing yourself, in that vein I give you;
ReplyDeleteComedy, tragedy, resistance
Seriously ! This is the last time I give you guys free reins ! This one will have to be carefully thought I suppose...
DeleteThanks a lot ;)
Congratulations, JB - did I tell you how much I like your new banner yet? Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'll go for.... the Mordheim chap and "frustrated novelist"
I don't remember but thanks, all credits to the original artist !
DeleteFrustrated novelist? I can relate to that ;)
Nurgle Plaguebearer, second to left.
ReplyDeleteHowzabout: Pus-filled Crab-boil.
I don't think it would require that much to work easily actually ! It's one of the ideas I could be tempted to do even if it doesn't get picked by destiny.
DeleteThanks a lot
Congratulations! :)
ReplyDeleteMy pick is lower row, the skaven and the flavours are "hexagon" and "spanish inquisition".
Cheers !
DeleteI can see how I can use the Spanish Inquisition but the hexagon... apart from using a hex base... need to think harder... now it seems I don't see you amongst the other names ;)
Hmm, it seems Google is playing tricks. I'm following you as "Wachinayn", which is my blogger account. As a pre-merger of Google and Blogger I've problems appearing on followers list.
Deleteoh OK, I think all of us who had the account before that got the problem I suppose ^^
DeleteCongrats on the milestone!
ReplyDeleteOK: I choose the mounted knight with the lance all the way on the right, and my flavor words are Disgrace, Reliquary. Not incredibly tough, but could be interesting.
Thanks Odie.
DeleteDisgrace, reliquary ? Well that seems like a solid idea to me. Not incredibly tough as you say but quite open and it can lead to something really nice I think.
Zealot - Kermit Puppet.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha oh that's too good. Love the blog, you're a kind fellow :)
Kermit puppet, now there's an idea, I love the prospect of having a deranged zealot with personnality troubles on th efield with a mad frog puppet giving him the poorest advice possible...
DeleteThanks a lot !
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteFigure: Skaven
Words: Hrud navigator
Very good, as a matter of fact, this models actually was meant to be converted into a space skaven in the first place but I couldn't get to integrate it with the other smaller scaled models... a navogator it is then !
DeleteCheers
The Emperor's Champion model... "Rainbow Warrior"
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very modern and yet very oldschool theme ^^
DeleteGood that makes 25 entries now !
Plaguebearer ...second top left "Explosive" "Chocolate"
ReplyDeleteOh I see what you're doing here ^^
